Question
The traditional costing approach assigns all manufacturing costs to products.
Question
Managers should accept special orders provided the special order price exceeds full cost.
Question
Fixed costs change in the short run depending upon management's decision to accept or reject special orders.
Question
If a company has excess capacity,increases in production level will increase variable production costs but not fixed production costs.
Question
Variable costing treats fixed overhead cost as a period cost.
Question
Manufacturing overhead costs are those that can be traced directly to the product.
Question
The use of absorption costing can result in misleading product cost information.
Question
Variable costing separates the variable costs from fixed costs and therefore makes it easier to identify and assign control over costs.
Question
Many companies link manager bonuses to income computed under absorption costing because this is how income is reported to shareholders.
Question
Product costs consist of direct labor,direct materials,and overhead.
Question
Under absorption costing,a company had the following unit costs when 10,000 units were produced:
 Direct labor $2 per unit  Direct material $3 per unit  Variable overhead $4 per unit \cline22 Total variable $9 per unit  Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) $5 per unit  Total production cost $14 per unit \begin{array}{ll}\text { Direct labor } & \$ 2 \text { per unit } \\\text { Direct material } & \$ 3 \text { per unit } \\\text { Variable overhead } & \$ 4 \text { per unit } \\\cline { 2 - 2 } \text { Total variable } & \$ 9 \text { per unit } \\\text { Fixed overhead }(\$ 50,000 / 10,000 \text { units) } & \$ 5 \text { per unit } \\\text { Total production cost } & \$ 14 \text { per unit }\end{array}

The total production cost per unit under absorption costing if 25,000 units had been produced would be $11.
Question
During a given year if a company produces and sells the same number of units,then beginning inventory units equal ending inventory units.
Question
Absorption costing is useful because it reflects the full costs that sales must exceed for the company to be profitable.
Question
A company normally sells a product for $25 per unit.Variable per unit costs for this product are: $3 direct materials,$5 direct labor,and $2 variable overhead.The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity producing 30,000 units per year.Total fixed costs are $75,000 per year.The company should accept a special order for 1,000 units which would be sold for $13 per unit because the special order price exceeds variable costs.
Question
The traditional income statement format used for financial reporting is called the contribution margin format.
Question
Absorption costing is not permitted under GAAP.
Question
A company normally sells a product for $20 per unit.Variable per unit costs for this product are: $2 direct materials,$4 direct labor,and $1.50 variable overhead.The company is currently operating at 70% of capacity producing 14,000 units per year.Total fixed costs are $42,000 per year.The company should not accept a special order for 2,000 units which would be sold for $10 per unit because there would be an incremental loss on the order.
Question
Assume a company had the following production costs:
 Direct labor $20,000 Direct material $30,000 Variable overhead $40,000 Fixed overhead $50,000\begin{array}{ll}\text { Direct labor } & \$ 20,000 \\\text { Direct material } & \$ 30,000 \\\text { Variable overhead } & \$ 40,000 \\\text { Fixed overhead } & \$ 50,000\end{array}

Under absorption costing,the total production cost per unit when 4,000 units are produced would be $22.50.
Question
